An Appeal to Heaven

As a spiritual person, I admit I pray before I write, seeking guidance in a disoriented world. I frequently stare at a blank screen, being at a loss of where to start. In a time where The Twilight Zone has become reality, prayer is no longer elective, it has once again become what it should always have been... essential. With so much spiritual counterfeit around us, I will say clearly that my God is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the Bible, the God of our founders, the God that revealed His love for us in the person of Jesus Christ, our Savior. It would be false to say to anyone that my words are the words of God, but to believe I am inspired by Him would not be false.

The march of the tyrannical Left. This is no exaggeration

And because we were founded as a Christian nation, with love for God and country, everyone is welcome at the table, unless your mission in life is to destroy what God and man has created. I could write about current events, the godless, socialist takeover of a major political party that has concluded that our great country is illegitimate, beyond saving, and therefore feel justified to use whatever means necessary to take it down. There is much material to chronicle the weak, feeble and corrupt pseudo-president. There is no shortage of narrative of the record crime occurring in our Democrat-controlled cities even while they create every lame excuse for the criminal. It's all to create a climate of fear, hopelessness and desperation, priming the people to accept any solution, however tyrannical. I could also write about the Deep State, the unelected dark powers within our government filled with leftist operatives working against everything we believe is right and good. It would be easy to compose additional material about Obama, the hater-in-chief, who is enjoying his 3rd term as president, engaged feverishly in the background as the de-facto presidential mouthpiece, however concealed. He hides himself as one of many globalist planners dismantling the country that has defended freedom these last 100 years... much of it financed and aided by atheistic globalist corporate powers, an out-of-control Big Tech industry and a corrupt media. And, of course, the education system, grade school on up, that has patently destroyed our values and culture, and created several generations of 5th column, mind-numbed robots. Their clandestine program of propaganda, that has overruled so many parents, has played a major role in the disintegration of American civilization. All while many of our churches and politicians chose to look the other way.

The coming year, 2022, will be a pivotal year

There would be plenty to write concerning our new unofficial 4th branch of government, the intelligence community. This is a part of a Washington bureaucracy that is also unelected, largely unaccountable. For many years they provided our government with vital national security intelligence. But now, since Obama's presidency, has turned its attention inward, attacking our own citizens, they now regard political opposition as domestic terrorism, using their vast resources, now weaponized, to destroy lives without due process. Of course, I could write volumes on the manufactured pandemic and the national emergency that ensued, allowing the greatest election fraud in history. The Left, along with China, and corporate interests that chose cheap labor over national security, created fear, chaos, and destroyed both a great presidency and a great economy. Millions of livelihoods were wiped out. They closed churches and schools, canceled much of the Bill of Rights and fabricated an excuse for using 'vaccines' created not for the purpose of combating a virus, but for the purpose of depopulation. Yes, I said it. Studies are now showing the death rate for vaccine recipients is at least 5X greater than published, the massive injuries, the same. Individuals in the UK who have received the Covid vaccine are dying at a rate higher than those who have not received the shot. Vaccinated Individuals under 60 are dying at a rate twice that of the unvaccinated (UK Office of National Statistics). This death and destruction all for the coronation of the neo-nobility and their New World Order. All of this before people fully understood what was happening. Understandable since no one ever experienced such devilry, such evil in any lifetime. The coming year, 2022, will be a pivotal year. What is gathered against us is so monumental, so hideous, so grotesque as to make all other previous forces amassed against Western Civilization throughout history rendered insignificant in comparison. It will be a year of destiny, deciding our fate, the year of the possibility of not going back. Before we anticipate with glee the coming midterm elections, we need to seriously consider whether the Democrats will allow any election that they cannot win. I do not believe there will be a 2022 election. There are plans to make sure it does not happen. The opposition has no plan or intention to give up what they have stolen. They will release new Covid variants, even a new virus, declare another national emergency, lock it down, cancel any balloting. Would they do such a thing? Absolutely! 'All for the common good.' Through the years, Thomas Jefferson's infamous separation of church and state statement has been perverted, exaggerated and repeatedly used by the Left to drive men and women of faith out of public service. And now, here we are, in a country corrupted by atheistic, anti-God influences, murderers, liars, and thieves that have decayed our society to the point of collapse. And yet, we need to humble ourselves, proclaim An Appeal to Heaven, fly the flag to give us strength for the days ahead, for God's guidance to correct a nation that has lost its way, to bring forward strong patriot leaders that will steer us back to the city on a hill, forever blessed of God. Amen. "For we aim at what is honorable not only in the Lord’s sight but also in the sight of man." -- 2 Corinthians 8:21

Appeal To Heaven -- The First Navy Flag

George Washington supplied funds to create a temporary fleet of floating batteries in Boston Harbor and six privateers, known as “Washington’s Cruisers” for service on the high seas. A flag or ensign was necessary to distinguish these “Cruisers” from pirate ships or merchant marine. In April 1776 the Massachusetts Council passed a series of resolutions for the regulation of the Sea Service including the following: Resolved, That the uniform of the officers be green and white, and that they furnish themselves accordingly; and, That the colors be a white ground with a green Pine Tree, and the inscription ‘AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN.’ Editor's note: Years before, the colonists and the Iroquois made a pact of peace, to bury their weapons under a great evergreen tree. The evergreen (liberty tree), in the Iroquois tradition, is a symbol of eternity, never losing its leaves. The colonists, similarly, made a pact with each other. The covenant they intended to honor was with God and one another, depending on providential help. They would pledge their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to this agreement. They chose the evergreen tree as their symbol.
